This updated one-bedroom condo in the Hillwood at Landmark community hits that rare trifecta: charm, convenience, and an impressively low-maintenance lifestyle—all wrapped up in a condo fee of just $287/month. That covers water, trash, snow removal, and access to a long list of amenities, making this one of the most cost-effective, easy-living homes you’ll find in Alexandria. And with a fresh reduction in price, it’s a smart move that feels even better. Tucked into a peaceful corner of Hillwood, this home feels like a private retreat—but with the best of Alexandria right outside your door. With newly updated engineered hardwood floors that create a sense of warmth and space, anchored by a classic wood-burning fireplace perfect for cozy evenings. A newer sliding glass door and windows invite in the light and lead to your private patio—just the spot for your morning coffee or a little evening wine. The kitchen blends style and smarts. Stainless steel appliances, sleek countertops, a gorgeous backsplash, and generous cabinet space make daily meals and weekend hosting equally effortless. An oversized pantry solves your storage needs, and a proper dining area means you don’t have to eat dinner perched at the counter—unless you want to. The bedroom brings the kind of bonus most one-bedroom condos don’t: a huge walk-in closet. The full bath is just steps away, and the in-unit washer and dryer keep life extra convenient. Thoughtful updates include a new dishwasher (2025), hot water heater (2022), and those energy-efficient windows and sliding door, so you're not just getting a pretty place—you're getting one with the big-ticket upgrades already handled. Need a TV above the fireplace? There’s an outlet for that. Want hidden cords behind your bookshelves? There’s a smartly placed outlet for that, too. Every detail has been considered. Hillwood itself offers more than just curb appeal. The community includes beautifully landscaped grounds, a clubhouse with rentable event space (plus showers and changing areas), and a private outdoor pool that hosts an end-of-summer dog swim party. With everything handled for you, it’s easy to focus on living well. Location-wise, you’re in a prime spot. DASH and Metrobus get you to the Van Dorn Street Metro (Blue Line) in just five minutes. I-395 and I-495 are nearby for commutes or weekend getaways. Old Town Alexandria offers waterfront strolls, restaurants, and a vibrant local scene. Even closer, West End Village Shopping Center brings you grocery stores, Home Depot, dining, the Charles Beatley Library, and more. Whether you're buying your first place, right-sizing to something simpler, or looking for a low-maintenance home base near D.C., this Hillwood condo delivers. It’s turnkey, thoughtfully updated, and priced to move.
